Master in Visual Arts from the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Ayla Tavares establishes in her production, dialogues with archaeological practice to deal with issues related to the possibilities of inhabiting the world. Different layers of temporality, such as memory, everyday life and projection, are present in the artist's investigation of archaeological artifacts, architecture or what we handle on a daily basis. Friction of poetic methods or objectives of thinking about documents and representations, what Ayla gives us to see are chimeras, other propositional bodies in relationships of estrangement, speculation and fable.
Her main solo exhibitions are: 2023 - Ustão (Casa Museu Eva Klabin - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil); 2022 - Alfarería del agua (Collegium Museum - Arévalo, Spain); 2019 - Sonantes (Centro Cultural Light - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).
Among the group exhibitions are: 2024 - Caminos de comprensión de la Historia (Casa de La Moneda - Segovia, Spain), From drawing - Centro Cultural dos Correios (Rio de Janeiro, BR) ; 2023 - Jingdezhen International Ceramic Art Biennale (Jingdezhen, CN), Whispers from the south (LAMB Gallery - London, UK) ; 2020 - We still do things in groups (Centro Municipal de Arte Hélio Oiticica - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) - 2019 - School of Fine Arts Biennial (Paço Imperial - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil); 2017 - Novíssimos 2017 (IBEU Gallery - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), among others.
In 2022, she was selected for the Pivô Pesquisa (São Paulo, Brazil) and the Entre-Tiempos residency programs at the Collegium Museum (Arévalo, Spain).
